Arizona Cardinals RB Chester Taylor got the start in Week 3 against the Seattle Seahawks, but he was replaced by Alfonso Smith after eight carries, and Smith played the balance of the game. "It's a tough situation, to come in and have to play when you haven't been with the team very long," Whisenhunt said of Taylor. The team signed Taylor during the week of the regular season opener.

Arizona Cardinals RB Chester Taylor will be part of the game plan in Week 2 after not being active in Week 1. The team decided to sit Taylor out because he only had a few days of practice since joining the team.
